Hi folks,
Many of you probably work for nonprofit
organizations, as I do, which rely on grants from corporations to remain
viable. With the current political situation and the squeeze on the
economy, I'm finding it harder to convince companies that they should retain
their emphasis on buying recycled and funding organizations promoting recycled
content materials (particularly as some of the budgets that may have sponsored
such programs went to NYC in the wake of the attacks). I'm putting
together a brief talk for my board of directors on the importance of keeping the
focus on environmental goods and services, even in the midst of the climate in
the U.S. today. I've got some ideas of what I'd like to say, but I hoped perhaps
some of you could send me some of your thoughts on why it's important to keep
environmental awareness (and funding for such) in the forefront. Please
feel free to respond to me directly rather than the list. Thanks very
much.
